Dear sir or maddam,

I was very interested in this religion so, I checked out the site. I am definately not claiming to be psychic. I'm just saying... I have FEELINGS when bad things happen. My question is... what would that be, if it isn't some sort of "psychic thing." I'm so unsure of death I'm almost obsessed! I don't know if me being so curious about the other side and things like that could be effecting my flow or something. Help?

The Patriarch replies:

Chanel:

I wish you had replied to my request to be more specific. "I have FEELINGS when bad things happen" is so vague as to be near meaningless. But I will take it to mean that you have a foreboding - a premonition that some unspecified bad thing is going to happen - and then you find out something bad has actually happened.

But something bad is always going to happen. Also something good is always going to happen. And the sun is going to rise tomorrow. No psychic powers are required to recognize any of this.

As to the other part of your query- "I'm so unsure of death I'm almost obsessed! I don't know if me being so curious about the other side and things like that could be effecting my flow or something. "

Being concerned about death is normal as is wondering if there is anything after death. But obessing over these issues may not be healthy.

As far as death is concerned, it happens to everyone. The way to deal with it is to live life fully. You get one life. Make the most of it. Make living your primary focus, dying is such a minor part of life overall.

And as to what happens after death, there is no way of knowing. Relax - let it be a surprise.
